What made Buddy so important to The Beatles and to music history was a combination of not only his talent as a singer AND a songwriter (a rare combination in the 1950s), but his looks and his rock and roll attitude which paved the way for countless others. In 1958, John, Paul &amp; George\u00a0 made their first record. It was <em><strong>That&#8217;ll Be The Day<\/strong><\/em>. (<em><strong>Anthology 1<\/strong><\/em>). As The Beatles, they recorded <em><strong>Words Of Love<\/strong><\/em>. In their solo careers both John and Paul recorded <em><strong>Peggy Sue<\/strong><\/em>. His songs, owned and in good hands by Paul McCartney, are now known world wide with big hits by Peter &amp; Gordon, James Taylor and Linda Rondstadt so name just a few. His legend and his music will live forever. For those who may not be old enough to know, <em>The Day The Music Died<\/em>, is from Don McLean&#8217;s classic <em><strong>American Pie<\/strong><\/em>. Long Live Buddy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of The Beatles biggest influences, the great Buddy Holly, died in a plane crash in Clear Lake, Iowa, February 3, 1959 after a concert at the Surf Ballroom.
